It reproduces all the known ones whose eigenfunctions consist of the Askey scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials of a continuous or a discrete variable. The recipe also predicts several new ones. An essential role is played by the sinusoidal coordinate, which generates the closure relation and the Askey Wilson algebra together with the Hamiltonian. The relationship between the closure relation and the Askey Wilson algebra is clarified. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
